Thanks to everyone for all the features and for future features, I would love you know how everyone views this piece still, discussions/comments welcome ^_^

this photo is up to your interpretation, it's very conceptual and could have many different meanings. how do you view it?




edit: changed the poem




Meanings and reasons
become skewed.
Unsure of what this means.
Trapped and so beautiful,
who would trap that dancing creature?
In so small a space,
with no air to breath,
one wing to fly.
Brightness from all around
dims
then sputters out.
Trapped or willingly
waiting within
the conscious mind?
How can one be sure?
Yearning to be taken hold of,
to be used as a muse, or
unable to escape the binds that hold?
Never to fill us with
the meanings of words,
the concepts of a photo or
the small whispers of the world?
So many explanations,
so many ideas held within so small a space.
The inspiration center of the mind?
Filled or emptied?
You decide.

I see it as beauty both trapped and protected within the confines of reality. Once again, lovely lighting.

Thanks. I think having some "no meaning" is good for every gallery because then you don't have to worry about projecting a bias on someone elses interpretation and you get to here their opinions (hopefully if people take the time to stop and comment).

Me too, I find it gives me better idea of what people want to see in art plus its also very interesting being able to see the similarities and differences between cultures and person to person.
